Dirt Cake

Have you ever had dirt cake? Like you are at a 10 year old birthday party and they are serving this yummy looking dessert with oreos and pudding that has gummy worms popping out of it... dirt cake?

This weekend we attended our first cookout with friends since coming back from our honeymoon. I had intended to make this  yummy dessert that my Mom used to make but realized my family cookbook is still packed away in the garage somewhere. So as I as quickly searching Pinterest for an idea Drew threw out the dirt cake option. I at first turned my nose up to it, Dirt Cake... no way am I putting my name on that. However I quickly changed my tune when I realized how excited he was about it and looked up the ingredients.... oreos, pudding, cream cheese... I am IN!

So we made Dirt Cake. I melted the butter and creamed the cream cheese and my husband crushed the oreos and made the pudding and crushed more oreos and went to the store when we were out. It was delightful and fun and we did it together!

I think it was a hit at the cookout too!
